China 10 yuan x 2 Set Ancient Paintings Children Playing Art silver coin 1994

The China 10 Yuan “Ancient Paintings – Children Playing” 1994 silver coin set is a charming and culturally rich two-coin issue inspired by classical Chinese art. Issued in 1994, this set draws directly from traditional paintings that celebrate childhood, harmony, and everyday joy — themes deeply rooted in Chinese aesthetics and philosophy.

The reverse of the first coin depicts two children engaged in playful activity around a large basin. One child leans forward with focused curiosity, while another approaches holding an object, suggesting a shared game or cooperative task. Their flowing garments, rounded faces, and gentle expressions are rendered in soft relief. Decorative elements such as floral blossoms, leaves, and small plants appear around the figures, enhancing the lively domestic atmosphere. The denomination “10 元” is placed clearly in the lower field.

The second coin continues the artistic theme with a different composition of children at play, echoing motifs from ancient paintings that symbolize prosperity, happiness, and continuity of generations. Both coins feature deeply mirrored proof fields contrasting with frosted relief figures.

The obverse of each coin displays a traditional Chinese palace building with layered roofs, detailed wooden structures, trees, walls, and landscape elements. Chinese characters naming the issuing country arc along the upper rim, while the year 1994 appears below.

Struck in silver with proof quality, this two-coin set is ideal for collectors of Chinese art themes, historical imagery, and elegant modern commemoratives.
